Notes:

Female Vietnamese. I studied in England for almost 9 years and graduated with bachelor’s degree from LSE, then I relocated to France to study the language for 10 months. My provided GRE of 330 (160V 170Q) is my previous one, the score expired already so I need to retake soon. Current career is commercial real estate valuation and development advisory where I interact with clients on a daily basis, started as financial analyst and got promoted to manager early this year (2 promotions within 2 years and a bit). Lead a team of 6 juniors including training them on soft skills and technical skills. Created some new initiatives to encourage and embrace team members, managed to sign a contract last year worth more than USD180k as timeline was urgent and I had to work 7 days a week for 3 months to complete the assignment. Outside of work I do charitable work regularly, I am a member of an association that gives out 500 meals per month to people living in hardship. I handle their operation/logistic including ingredients purchase, bookkeeping and ingredients preparation. I also singlehandedly raised fund (5k) to purchase books and hot water machines for monks in Bhutan upon returning from my holiday and witnessing them living in poor condition. Post MBA I aspire to do management consulting/social impact investing, and few more years down the road I wish to found a non profit company delivering solutions and helping people in rural area in Vietnam, and potentially to other under developed countries in the region. Would like some comments as to whether my application falls in the over represented pool
